NOTE: - With the exception of this epilogue, and one or two of the lyrics, Crowley wished to suppress the whole of “The Tale of Archais.” But it was thought inadvisable to form a precedent of this kind, as the book was regularly published. On the other hand, by adhering to this rule any poem not appearing in this edition may be definitely discarded as spurious.

3. WEH NOTE: This inconvenience is not unlike that reported of Melusine, wife of the Angevin Raymond de Lusignan. Melusine had a little problem of turning to a blue and white serpent from the waist down every Saturday. After her death following discovery of this complaint, she was said “to haunt the Lusignan castle, causing much fear by the sound of her swishing tail”. Thus the ancestors of the English kings!
